In a move aimed at improving customer service and increasing its presence abroad, BASF (Ludwigshafen / Germany; www.basf.com) has announced that it is opening two new PU System Houses, in Colombia and west China respectively.

The group says it expects its PU System House in Cartagena / Colombia, intended to serve the local market alongside that of Venezuela and Equador, to be fully operational by Q1 2011. “We expect the market for PU systems in the Andean region to grow in the coming decade by 6%,” said Anton Traunfellner, managing director of BASF Polyurethanes in South America.
